Gingerbread For Motorola Droid 2 Global Leaks [Download & Install]

We have confirmation that a full Gingerbread firmware for the Droid 2 Global has been leaked on the internet. The firmware here is 4.5.606 and is not rooted, with everything else stock and functional. Credit for this release goes to RootzWiki forum member aceoyame. If you’re familiar with SBF packages, you would know, it’s not the easiest of files to install, but not the hardest either. In this case the ROM we’re installing will not be using SBF but you will need SBF, we’ll show you why. So if the terms, SBF and RSDLite make sense to you, you would have no issues installing this ROM on your phone. If not, we’ll show you just how you can do that.

Further credit goes to Project Cheesecake and Framework43.

Now for this ROM to work, you need to be coming from a .330 firmware and not have any custom recovery installed on it. If you have any recovery installed on it, the installation will fail. So what now?
